Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

NJ man arrested for plotting jihad bomb attack on Trump tower

May 23, 2019 8:45 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

20 year old Jonathan Xie from New Jersey has been arrested “on terror-related charges for allegedly seeking to provide material support to Hamas, and discussing the bombing of Trump Tower and the Israeli consulate in Manhattan, according to federal officials.” As with all jihadists, his hatred is deeply indoctrinated into him.  Xie stated…

I want to shoot the pro-israel demonstrators … you can get a gun and shoot your way through or use a vehicle and ram people … all you need is a gun or vehicle to go on a rampage … I do not care if security forces come after me, they will have to put a bullet in my head to stop me.

In Xie’s mind, the ‘bullet in his head’ will earn him martyrdom. Normative Islam instructs Islamic adherents to wage jihad against unbelievers and to strike terror into the hearts of disbelievers, “strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”. (Quran 8:12)

The jihadist doctrine of hate and murder is still largely ignored despite the clear security threat it poses. All the while, people are fed the propaganda that “violence has nothing to do with Islam”.

“New Jersey man arrested for plotting terror attack at Trump Tower”, by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, May 22, 2019:

A New Jersey man was arrested Wednesday on terror-related charges for allegedly seeking to provide material support to Hamas, and discussing the bombing of Trump Tower and the Israeli consulate in Manhattan, according to federal officials.

Jonathan Xie, 20, of Basking Ridge, is charged with two counts of attempting to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization, two counts of making false statements, and one count of transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.

He is scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon before US Magistrate Judge Mark Falk in Newark federal court.

Xie also is accused of lying on his application to join the US Army and of making threats against pro-Israel groups, officials said.

According to federal documents, Xie appeared in an Instagram Live video in April wearing a black ski mask and claiming that he was against Zionism and the neo-liberal establishment.

When asked by someone in the video if he would go to Gaza and join Hamas, Xie replied, “Yes, if I could find a way.”

Later in the video, he displayed a Hamas flag and brandished a handgun.

“I’m gonna go to the [expletive] pro-Israel march and I’m going to shoot everybody,” he said…

    What mosque did this guy study at, if indeed he did study such teachings. if not, where did he get his ideology of erasing others with joy in his being to accomplish homcide of others. This is what needs to be examined as well as his personal criminal intentions. If this was shown, then we might have the rats of decay and hatred more on the defensive rather than the rest of us always having to explain that we’re not ‘haters’ every time one of these would be serial killers gets caught

      mgoldberg,

      Excellent idea – my compliments.

      Let’s put Islam and all the mosques on the defensive each and every time something like this happens.

      Let THEM prove that this had “nothing to do with Islam” – or their teachings.

      Time to turn this thing around… and get rid of political correctness.

    Jonathan Xie of New Jersey understands jihad perfectly … like Muslims for 1400 years. Kill for Allah and receive a reward of eternal sex slaves in Allah’s playboy-mansion-in-the-sky.

    Does such hate as that of Jonathan Xie have ‘NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM’ ??? Not according to Islam’s top scholars. Hating the kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ is the TRUE IMAGE of Islam.

    to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

    -Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
    “There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)

    – Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”

    This and the Israeli Consulate.

    So glad he was caught. I wonder what Jonathan Xie’s Muslim name is?

    Nothing will come of this unless we separate from Islam. Period.

    To deal with the crisis facing our civilization, we must be both realistic and imaginative. The realism part consists in recognizing how bad our situation is. The entire Western world is at present under the grip of the modern liberal ideology that targets every normal and familiar aspect of human life, and our entire historical way of being as a society.
    The key to this liberal ideology is the belief in tolerance or non-discrimination as the ruling principle of society, the principle to which all other principles must yield.

      Yes, and the tolerance only applies to non-Christians, or those who know the lies and brutality of islam and speak out against it. Liberalism is spelled “hypocrisy”.
